A Long Island “Bad Santa” has been busted for allegedly trapping animals in his yard, then torturing and killing them. William Thomas, 76, of Baylor Place in East Northport, is accused of being a serial killer of birds, rabbits, squirrels and raccoons.

After a raid by cops and the SPCA, Thomas – who has a long white beard and likes to wear black boots and a red coat – was taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. “Maybe he didn’t like them tweeting in the morning or something,” one officer said.
